1/2 As a fellow refugee from Big Law, I found this OpEd insightful and honest. I became disenchanted with Big Law because of the rampant greed. An important point is that law firms follow trends in the corporate world, such as consolidation and profit orientation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/o...

So one sovereign nation can indict the defense minister of another sovereign nation for carrying out illegal attacks on the prosecuting nation's civilians, have I got that right? That's good to know . . .

I have this sinking feeling that today's announcement of the slush fund for Trump supporters was intended to distract our attention from something much more malicious the regime is doing behind the scenes. Anyone else feel that way?

Can someone explain to me why DHS needs to shut down any activities right now after receiving $165B last year in the OBBB? Does that agency even need any additional appropriations this fiscal year? I truly don't understand this.

With credit to @joycewhitevance.bsky.social 1/2 "At the end of a weekend full of sadness, it’s an inconceivable tragedy that we’ve lost Rob Reiner and his sweet wife. I miss Joe Biden, the great consoler. I miss Barack Obama, who sang Amazing Grace at the service for Rev. Clementa Pinckney,

U.S. policy in the immigration, social welfare, and healthcare arenas is infused with an underlying assumption that some people DESERVE to benefit from these policies and others don't. That is the fundamental flaw that prevents us from having good policy that works well for everyone.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Lexington, KY says #NoKings Y’all! We had amazing turnout. Kudos to the organizers for getting permits to march thru the streets. What an amazing celebration of democracy, civil rights, and human dignity! @bgaalliance.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org

In a perfect world, these highly informative videos made by @politicsgirl.bsky.social would be shown on a daily basis in schools and during news programs on local networks. No one says it better!

I personally think that this is the most important point to be made about the current political impasse that resulted in a government shutdown. We need to effectively communicate this fact whenever we talk about why we are where we are.

I urge you to read this article and submit a comment on the Dep't of Education's proposed regulation. Link to suggested comment: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Link to place where you leave your comment: www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED...

We're not just resisting, we're rising! Locate a #NoKings event on Oct 18 and join the fight for our rights, our communities, and our future! social.demcast.com/s/RlkXOJoO

I'll be there in Lexington, KY with @bgaalliance.bsky.social.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Exactly! This is what I have been trying to explain to people.

mentorpl.org/biggerthanth... The Ohio Senate has cut library funding by 25 million. In addition, similar to Florida, they are seeking to restrict any books that express gender identity expression. Governor Dewine has until tomorrow (June 30th) to veto the bill. Below is a link to Govern Dewine.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

1/2 I am no expert on the New York City mayoral race, but I felt strongly that Cuomo should not be the Democratic (or any party's) candidate. I am dismayed, however, by the focus on Mamdani's religion. When a Protestant wins, are they continually labeled by their religion?

Lexington, Kentucky is fired up! Great turnout and positive energy to say #nokingsinamerica and to show support for the many communities under attack. This is what democracy looks like! #NoKingsDay #bluegrassactivistalliance #50501 #Indivisible

1/2 Sen. McConnell responded to my request that he call for the impeachment of Trump. It included this language:

This regime is completely out of control! I hope that Congressman Nadler takes immediate action on this incident. The law enforcement officers are clearly acting beyond the scope of their authority. 🤬

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

I genuinely can’t believe the Republican House went through with this nightmare….

Earlier this month arts organizations across the country were shocked to hear about proposed cuts to funding. This is also the case in Kentucky. Some organizations in the state that receive grants from the National Endowment for the Arts have already been notified that they have lost their funding.

The country's Democratic governors are sounding the alarm over a Republican plan that they say would leave millions of people without access to health care.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

TOMORROW: The Senate is expected to vote on a crypto bill that would enable Trump to keep accepting bribes from billionaires, corporations, and foreign governments. We can block S.394 if every Democrat votes no but that’s not a sure thing right now, so your senators need to hear from you. 👇

1/One aspect of the cases involving Rumeysa Öztürk, Mahmoud Khalil, and others who spoke out in support of the Palestinian people that I haven't seen discussed is the ex post facto nature of the charges.

We participated in the #HandsOff protest in Lexington, KY today. The turnout and energy were amazing! I saw lots of friends, colleagues, fellow parents, and kindred spirits. It was uplifting and a great demonstration of #powerofthepeople!

If you're a fan of "Severance" on AppleTV, you'll find this hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
